[MTC Global] FW: Why my family started the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Few weeks back we saw an ice bucket challenge going around but perhaps many of us do not the history behind it. Here is a video that is so inspirational . It is also about leadership our current topic of discussion.

Nancy Frates: Why my family started the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The rest is history

18:53 minutes · TEDxBoston

When 27-year-old Pete Frates injured his wrist in a baseball game, he got an unexpected diagnosis: it wasn't a broken bone, it was ALS. Better known as Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS causes paralysis and death—there is no cure. And still, Pete saw an opportunity to drive awareness about the disease. In a brave talk, his mom Nancy Frates tells the story of how the family developed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and took great pleasure in seeing everyone from Justin Timberlake to Bill Gates take part. If you accepted the challenge, please take the next step: share this talk as you did your challenge video.
